Cavaliere range hoods are designed to remove smoke, cooking vapors, and odors from the cook top area. For best results, it is advisable to start the range hood before cooking and allow it to operate several minutes after the cooking is completed to clear all smoke and odors from the kitchen.

Cavaliere wall mount range hoods are crafted from 19 gauge stainless steel in satin finish. SV218D-36 range hood can vent air through ducts that lead outside or recirculate it within the room with an optional recirculation kit. The range hoods are equipped with two 35W dimmable halogen lights; they are electronically controlled with 4 touch sensitive buttons: power on/off, lights on/off, increase, and decrease the motor speed.The motor used in Cavaliere range hoods is ultra-quiet and capable of moving up to 900 cubic feet of air per minute. The noise levels produced by the blower range from 25 dB to 56 dB; this can be compared to a noise ranging from a quiet conversation (25 dB) to a normal conversation (60 dB). The range hoods are equipped with a 6" round duct vent.

The model SV218D-30 has a 30" wide by 19 3/4" deep canopy made out of 5/16" thick tampered glass. The telescopic chimney extends from 23" to 40" (measured from the top of the canopy). The range hood is designed for 8 to 9 foot ceilings; however the measurement that needs to be taken into consideration is the distance between the cooktop and the bottom of the canopy which is recommended to be between 28" and 31" for efficient air evacuation from the cooking area. The SV218D-36 can be installed in kitchens with 10, 11 and 12 foot ceilings with a right chimney extension designed especially for this particular model.
